Rated 5 out of 5 stars
One of the Greats
I remember this movie from the early 1970s as a child, and was always entranced by seeing Humphrey Bogart as an alcoholic boat captain, who in his own way becomes enamored with the Spinster Katharine Hepburn, while at the same time, maintaining his course to get her down the river, along with her strong backbone pressing him forward. To clear and consummate actors who portray their characters with such passion and grit, you can’t help but watch their adventure all the way to the end and then you’re surprised by the conclusion. A definite classic for any family movie library that is enamored with weekly family movie nights.
I'm filling out my collection of Humphrey Bogart movies and was glad to get the African Queen at a great price. The chemistry between Bogart and Hepburn makes this movie one of their best. It's also a very interesting story.
